Overview

Apoptosis is an essential process in embryonic development and tissue homeostasis, particularly in the prevention of disease. Written from a genetic viewpoint, Genetics of Apoptosis first describes the molecular and cell biology of apoptosis, then examines the process in more detail in several model systems. This volume brings together contributions from internationally renowned authors, and will be a valuable reference to all researchers studying apoptosis.
